Firriato
Rosso Etna DOC Nerello Mascalese
Etna, Catania, Sicily, Italy
Opened this about 3-4 days ago and it really became approachable on the 2nd/3rd day. Will do well with some more time. Notes of cherry, raspberry, strawberry, spice and forest floor. I asked my 2 year old son what it smells like and his answer was "I don't know, sausage!" lol!!

Firm acidity and less fruit and minerality than the 11 and 12 vintages. #EtnaRosso #SicilianWines

More akin to a really hot vintage Cote du Rhone then what I look for in Nerello.

Bright red fruits, violets and mineral feel with light dusty tannins. Ripping acidity - needs food. Bit thin
